What was he talking about?

"I don't agree with fags,

but que sera sera..."

F*** you! You think

you can fix this? You think

you're gonna change God?

go down there? America is doomed.

but so far the reaction has been

approximately 100% negative.

Would you agree? Yeah.

Is there another way

of delivering the message,

you can fix this? You think

like a letter of consolation

to the soldier's family?

We do letters, but not consolation.

You angered God

and now he's cursed your family!

They're not gonna have

any consolation.

As a picket today, how would you

rate this, marks out of ten?

As a picket today, how would you

Hon, they're all tens. All of them.

Would you say ten out of ten

as well, Jacob? Yeah, God did this,

therefore it's perfect.

Does everything get ten out of ten?

Yeah. Thank God

for all of his judgments.

Not one word falls to the ground.

They're not gonna have

Not one word falls to the ground.

They're not gonna have

Not one word falls to the ground.

'where most of the 70 or so

churchgoers live.'

Not one word falls to the ground.

So this is the centre

of the headquarters right here?

You can call it that. What

would you call it? My back yard.

You don't live communally with the

other members of the church? No.

Where does Pastor Phelps,

the patriarch, live?

On that second floor. Up there?

In that building you've got

the house part to this side

and the church part to that side.

the house part to this side

for the children.

Have you wondered if you might be

part of a cult? What do you have

to be to qualify as a cult?

It's a religious group

that exercises an inordinate amount

of control over its members.

You have to have other things also.

Brainwashing and a charismatic

leader at the top? Maybe Fred

Phelps, your father, could qualify.

I don't care

about all that nonsense.

We're the ones who are adhering

to the doctrines of faith of all

mainline religions. They're not.

So what else you got?

'To help her run the ministry,

Shirley relies on her two

eldest daughters, Megan and Bekah.'

This is Bekah's room, OK. I don't

see any posters of pop bands. No.

Can we look in your closet?

I guess you can.

You have quite a lot of clothes.

Yeah, pretty much. Are there rules

about what you can wear? Modesty.

Our parents don't have to tell us.

We know what we can wear.

We know what's appropriate. How

do the girls at your school dress?

One word - whore. Do you agree?

We know what's appropriate. How

people at your school think of you?

They hate us, but we're nice

to everyone. Why do they hate you?

Because they hate the message. We

We know what's appropriate. How
